Academy sports coming to town - UPDATE

The last town council meeting had listed a planned revision request for a new store on Weakly Lane. I was not sure if I had heard the name correctly but it sounded like Academy Sports. This is a growing and large line of stores like Bass Pro shop near Opryland. I went to their website and could not find anything on Smyrna there until I looked at their job listings. Unless there is a second Smyrna in Tennessee, we are already listed for people who wish to apply for jobs.

I'm not sure how many people one of their stores employ, not the planned opening date, but this is great news as this store covers the shortage of a sports store and a gun store.
Yippee!

UPDATE:
Their planned site will be on the side road where Lowes is and right behind Wendys on Sam Ridley Blvd...this is from the town planner for Smyrna.

Good news and good detective work, we have gotten some good deals at the Academy in Cool Springs, that along with the Lonhorns, and Panera Bread means big upgrades for us.
